Chương 15: Gift From the Demon King
Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios
As one of the top ten biggest sects in Great Yan Prefecture, the Immortal Guardian Sect wasn't a place that a disciple like him could casually break into even though the Sect had already lost their Sect Leader and some elders.
Furthermore, once he was discovered, how was he supposed to continue to probe the situation?
"I wonder where this Little Uncle-Master is right now…"
Yao Zhan's brows were tightly knitted as he hopped off the Wyrm's back after they had arrived in a quiet spot in the forest.
The Wind Thunder Sect's scout had successfully infiltrated the sect but he didn't have a high position. He only knew that the Immortal Guardian Sect invited over their Grand Uncle-Master to preside over the sect. He knew nothing about the capabilities of this innate Dao body from ten years ago, and where he was.
Yao Zhan's goal in coming over this time was to find that Little Uncle-Master and verify just how strong his cultivation strength truly was.
"There are two ways…
"First, I can disguise as a newly-admitted disciple to sneak in and gather information.
"Or… I could directly go to the places that the higher-ups of the Immortal Guardian Sect preferred to live at. Those places are the Hall of Mind Cultivation and the Immortal Guardian Peak. I can secretly go and visit them to have a look!
"If I do encounter him, I should be able to verify his capabilities.
"But if I do not … there has to be another way."
He soon had two ideas in his mind.
A moment of deliberation followed and he decided to first execute the second idea.
If it was easy to gain any information about that Little Uncle-Master, then the scout would've already sent them a message a long time ago. There wouldn't be any need for him to personally come here at all.
Having made his decision, he turned towards the Silver-Winged Wyrm at the side and instructed. "Senior Wyrm, your physique is too big! We'll be easily discovered with how big you are, why don't you shrink yourself and hide here for now?
"Once I'm done gathering the information that I need, I will come back and get you…"
"Mmhm!"
After nodding its massive head, the Wyrm's figure slightly trembled as it transformed from a length of several feet into the size of a cat.
The Wyrm's cultivation was at the Immortal Temple Realm, with its cultivation strength, it was already able to speak and understand human language, and also change the size of its physique.
Swaying lightly, Yao Zhan turned into a black shadow as he sped straight towards the gates of the sect on the mountain peak.
Shadow Skill!
He obtained this technique during a lucky encounter.
It allowed one to blend their body with the night like a shadow. It completely concealed their aura and strength. Even a powerhouse at the Grand Master Realm would barely be able to sense the person hiding behind the shadows of this skill without using their divine consciousness.
It was precisely because he had such an ability that Qin Wentian sent him here.
With the help of the night, Yao Zhan slowly crept towards his destination. Before long, he had bypassed the disciples' lodging and arrived at the Hall of Mind Cultivation.
There wasn't a single figure in this huge place, after probing around for a while, he turned and went to Immortal Guardian Peak. He similarly didn't have any findings.
"Could it be that Little Uncle-Master isn't here?"
He was most likely to be in these places, but since he wasn't here…
Where did this Little Uncle-Master go?
Since the second plan didn't work, he could only execute the first one.
It was to infiltrate the sect and personally gather the information that he needed!
As long as he knew the location of his target, it shouldn't be that difficult for him to get close to the latter under the cover of the night.
Two hours later, Yao Zhan had almost combed through the entire mountain peak, but he still didn't find any substantial information about his target. Shaking his head, Yao Zhan could do nothing other than return to where he left the Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm.
If he wanted to thoroughly disguise as a disciple of the Immortal Guardian Sect in broad daylight, he needed to find that 'scout' first and get more details from him. Otherwise, the endeavor would be far too risky for him since his cover could easily be blown over.
Soon enough, he arrived at the place where he split up with the Silver-Winged Wyrm.
Yao Zhan swept his gaze across the area.
His pupils abruptly contracted.
The Wyrm whom he left here was nowhere to be found. A few dozen broken trees were in the area, and the soil was also violently disturbed. Obviously, a fight had happened here.
Yao Zhan took several steps forward before he squatted down. His fingers dipped into the ground for a moment and when he took his finger out, he could see fresh blood on the tip of his finger.
He sniffed the blood with his nose…
The blood belonged to the Silver-Winged Wyrm!
Something definitely went wrong!
Even though the Silver-Winged Wyrm was only at Class 1 of the Immortal Temple Realm, it had the bloodline of the Dragon Race. If it was in combat, even a cultivator at Class 3 of the Immortal Temple Realm would find it difficult to kill it.
Furthermore, if the Wyrm was set on escaping…
A powerhouse in the early stages of the Grand Master Realm might not necessarily be able to stop it.
For the Wyrm to disappear soundlessly like this, it must've fought against a mid-stage Grand Master Realm expert or an expert in the latter stages of the Grand Master Realm!
According to the information available to them, Elder Wu Yuan, who had the highest cultivation level in the Immortal Guardian Sect was only at Class 5 of the Immortal Temple Realm!
"Did that Little Uncle-Master discover that I was here and he retaliated against us in secret?"
A thought emerged in Yao Zhan's mind.
If anyone in the Immortal Guardian Sect had the ability to soundlessly take the Silver-Winged Wyrm away. It was probably that legendary Little Uncle-Master—the one that held the highest seniority in the sect.
"Regardless of whether it is him or not… I will know the truth after I find Senior Wyrm…"
Yao Zhan gnashed his teeth. With a tap, the blood on his fingertip burned and he started to emanate white smoke that spread straight into the depths of the mountain forest.
Bloodline Locating Spell!
The technique allowed anyone to search for the location of someone whose blood had been spilled by burning the bloodline! This technique was most commonly used by cultivator sects to search for their missing members.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Zhan circulated his strength to the maximum and flew towards the direction that the smoke had pointed to.
…
An hour ago…
The Nirvana Demon King finally recovered some of his strength after a session of recuperation that lasted for an entire day and night, and absorbing the powers of countless fecal pellets.
The Nirvana Demon King could feel his strength coursing throughout his child-like body as he started to tremble in excitement. Stretching out his body, he stealthily left the compound through an underground path.
Now…
He was about to perform a great deed that would let him dominate the world in the future.
That was, subdue those three demonic beasts!
The first step—come up with a way to satisfy their stomachs!
The most delicious food in this world that he knew was the flesh of a dragon!
But the main problem was… where was he going to find that?
The bloodline of the Dragon Race was just too powerful that even a hint of it would give anyone extremely strong talent. This was the reason why every sect out there would definitely capture and breed dragons in captivity once they managed to capture one.
As for those that weren't caught yet, they were definitely experts in hiding.
Realistically, it was impossible to find them in a short period of time.
"If nothing really works. I will just go to the mountain forest where I ate a lot of demonic beasts previously, I hope I'll be able to find at least one, if I can't, then I will have to think of another way…"
After flying for a while, the Nirvana Demon King's figure suddenly froze. He looked over in a location with disbelief on his face. "I can feel the aura of a dragon in the distance…"
What was this coincidence?!
Doubtful, the Nirvana Demon King followed the source of the aura and he saw a Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm hiding inside a huge tree. It was currently resting with its eyes closed.
"There's actually one here?"
The Nirvana Demon King repeatedly blinked his eyes in disbelief.
Then, in the very next moment, he turned wild with joy.
Everything was truly going according to the way he wanted. He thought of having a dragon's meat for consumption and a dragon had appeared right in front of him.
It seems like the heavens also wishes for me to subdue those three demonic beasts!
I am indeed the son of the heavens!
"A Wyrm at the Immortal Temple Realm. In the past, I could kill a dozen of them with a glance… but my injuries have yet to recover, I'd better be cautious!"
Swaying lightly, he turned into a ball of demonic aura and quietly moved behind the other party.
"Hmm?"
The Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm who was asleep suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. It was just about to turn its head, but it immediately saw a massive fist come from above. An endless demonic aura swarmed over and completely enveloped it.
"Who are you…"
Its wings shook, the Wyrm wanted to escape but all of its escape routes had been blocked.
It couldn't escape at all.
"No…"
It let out a miserable cry.
Then, it saw the fist land on its body.
Its heart was assaulted by an overwhelming force.
Thump!
The beast pet of the Wind Thunder Sect, a Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm at Class 1 of the Immortal Temple Realm directly fell out of the tree where it was hiding and its breathing ultimately came to a halt.
The Nirvana Demon King might still be far away from a complete recovery, but it was still easy for him to ambush and kill an existence at Class 1 of the Immortal Temple Realm.
"Done and dusted…"
With a face full of smiles, the Nirvana Demon King grabbed the Wyrm's corpse and flew straight back to the compound.
At first, he thought that he would have to spend quite a lot of effort to find a suitable flesh for consumption, but to think that not even ten minutes had passed since he came out the compound, he already had what he wanted!
His luck was virtually unmatched.
The delicacy was prepared.
Now, he only needed to find a way on how he could give this to those three demonic beasts and leave behind a favorable impression!
But…
This wasn't easy.
After all, those three demonic beasts believed that he had already died. If he were to casually appear right in front of them—that would definitely be tantamount to courting unnecessary trouble.
But if he didn't appear in front of them and only delivered the meat, how would the three know that the delicacy came from him?
He must leave his name when doing good deeds. Otherwise, how would the three beasts feel grateful and submit to him?
"Those three fellows don't look that smart… They should be easy to fool…"
Knowing that the four of them would meet once more sooner or later, he might as well face them directly while he still had the delicacy with him.
He soon arrived at the compound and discovered the three demonic beasts.
The three of them were still huddled together, they were probably talking about food and drinks.
They sure were simple-minded.
If he—the great Nirvana Demon King was unable to fool even these beasts of such intelligence, he would've lived the few thousand years of his life in vain.
Taking in a deep breath, he got into his most handsome posture and teleported directly in front of the other party. He then put the Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm's corpse down.
"It's me. I have something delicious. I'll give it to you so long as you obey…"
With both of his hands behind his back, the Nirvana Demon King revealed a smile filled with sincerity.
He was a powerhouse that had once dominated the world. Back then—the mere mention of his name caused the hearts of men to tremble. For him to be this amiable and courteous towards these three beasts, he was confident that their hearts would've probably been moved by now!
At this thought, he could not help but look over.
Sure enough, he saw all three demonic beasts staring at him wide-eyed.
They were dumbstruck, seemingly filled with disbelief.
"They have indeed been awed by my stunning appearance…"
The Nirvana Demon King was filled with satisfaction. He was just about to go on and continue to speak when a terrified voice wafted over to him. "Ghost! Don't come over, I'm scared…"
Boom!
Before the Nirvana Demon King realized it, the gigantic hoof of a donkey descended onto him once more.
"F*ck! Let me explain…"
With his scalp numbed with fear, the Nirvana Demon King wanted to cry.
Again?
At least, give me a chance to explain myself! I mean no harm… don't come over! If you come any closer, I will shout!
Thump!
The hoof landed on his head. Before the Nirvana Demon King could shout, he was stomped flat onto the ground, his body once again turned into a meat patty.
Amidst his blackening consciousness, he could somewhat hear the donkey's apprehensive voice.
"Side Kick, Whirlwind Kick, Tornado Kick, Thunder Kick, Spinning Kick!"
"Donkey Roll-over, Fierce Donkey Crosses the River, Great Donkey Hoof of the Universe…"
"It looks like it isn't enough! Bring the torch! Let's burn him into ashes before anything else!"
"…"
The Nirvana Demon King's vision darkened. He lost his consciousness again.
I'm here to subdue you all…
Give me a chance!
You can't do this!
